about

Sonically, “Warrior Ride” captures the vastness of the prairies, the wildness of the indian horse relay, and the strength of a family bond. Pulse-driven lap slide guitars and thumping bass tones rumble under the song’s harmony-laced melody before falling into "Warrior Ride's" airy yet grounded choruses. "It's the story of letting go as you watch a loved one become who they are meant to be; the fear and pride that you simultaneaously endure as you recognize their gain of independence.", explains Burnstick. "As parents, we live this everyday; seeing our son grow, make mistakes, learn to become strong-minded and confident, and knowing we won't always be able to protect him every step of the way." As the chorus' lyrics unveil: "Eyes up, the turn is coming fast. Eyes up, no looking back."

lyrics

Watched you race so many times
Through the rolling hills, prairie skies
Held your place between the lines
Where the story's told, the trouble dies
With a heart of gold, the winners rise

Heard you run to hell and back
Through the raging winds, a turning track
Stirred the dust time after time
But you're here with me, and that's my prize
With a heart of gold, the winners rise

Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back

Saw you pace a long dark while
Through the burning sun, the twisted mile
I know you think your hands are tied
But the fever breaks, the hurt subsides
With a heart of gold, the winners rise

Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back

Oh...

Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, no looking back

Watched you race so many times
With heart of gold...
The Warrior rides
